Random Thoughts: Volume 421
Is it just me or do company presidents send too many group emails? If you’re sick of receiving company-wide emails about things that aren’t even remotely interesting to you, it’s time to take a stand. The next time the boss sends one of these annoying messages, hit the “reply” button (“reply all” if you’re particularly daring) and write the following: “These messages are redundant and unnecessary. Please take me off your list immediately, (douche bag).” (The “douche bag” part is totally up to you, but usually the phrase goes over well with people in positions of power.) After you click send, wait a few hours, and then send me an email letting me know how things went. ThinkingFool at gmail dot com.
This whole “Turn the clocks back so the vampires can come out an hour earlier” thing continues to upset me more each year. I don’t know about you, but to me glancing outside at 5:00 p.m. only to see total darkness is about as enjoyable as watching an “I Love Lucy” rerun. Is there one person who actually enjoys having it get dark at such an early hour? If so, this person should never procreate.
Tonight, another era ends. ABC’s Ted Koppel will host his final Nightline this evening. Koppel is one of the best journalists in the entire industry. He will be missed by many, including this fool.
